In this episode, Eric and Lauren work through a batch of health-and-wellness headlines with their usual skepticism, covering viral "heatwave hacks" (damp sheets, yogurt on windows), a study claiming gossip is "good for you," a doomsday-prepping wellness trend, a face-scanning "longevity mirror" they technically invented, and whether biological-age tests and the famous "blue zones" hold up. Plenty of tangents along the way, including Homo naledi, reality dating shows, and Eric's inability to stay awake during interesting documentaries.

Join us for a live recording of Front Page Fitness on Mondays at 5:30 pm eastern time!
